Listening to music while swiping off the floor was probably not a good idea. Being completely oblivious to who walked in and out of the store was not good either but how could someone act responsible when nothing had ever happened in the neighborhood? It was just an ordinary day, in an ordinary city.1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9mQV38TFb
1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFwzj9zfVG
The cashier was watching her closely. She wasn't even swiping the floor correctly but she was listening to loud music and was using the broomstick to entertain herself. The peculiar creature was dancing, mouthing the lyrics and chewing gum. The cashier shook his head dismissively.1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMdDPZiIhE
1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKaW7k1HEI
"You're done for today, Evan."1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXh3lVbMekA
1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElbQA8v3J8
The boy sighed in relief and put down his hat. He went in the back to get his things and left his boss with the girl.1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLQQuT4EM9
1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtAGXohtAQ
She didn't even see him entering the store because she was too busy waving her hands around. The girl was perplexed when she hit her boss straight in the ribs and pulled one earphone out while making a balloon with the gum.1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwQfIDy96g
1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbm8OPsaDUR
"Oh, hey boss! You came in early today." She started leisurely.1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeEXVS303K
1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4kPQgfSBu
He narrowed his eyes at her, grumbling some swears under his breath before finally answering loudly.1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbS6GsklDK1
1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGormO2MxM
"Is that why I pay you, Abby? If I wanted you to offer a show to the customers, I would have told you." He snapped, his loud voice echoing through the empty store.1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonNO256MH5
1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzUEYJjaWn
She only blew the gum in his face as response.1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlRXLsYG27
1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxJmnrWDfq
The old man rolled his eyes before he pushed her towards a shelf.1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05s0bdAMOU
1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DfsRrvao7
"Clean."1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIve9emA5Ug
1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnub6aYzuWM
She rolled her eyes but started to swipe correctly.1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJumA5Kg2gR
1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPWJCuWVC7
A few minutes later, while the cashier was still preparing to leave and the girl was trying her best not to dance again, three men dressed in expensive flashy suits entered the store. None looked better than the other, their styles were pretty much the same yet their suits were different colors. Unlike those old gangster movies, these men looked dangerous but at the same time, a bit silly with their hair gelled back.1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QZIyKhnGI
1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3PvdqHNEr
Abby watched curiously as the three men stopped in front of her boss and looked down on him with a scowl.1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUJWGcvQtl
1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eo29dNFJV
"Dewy, Dewy, Dewy. I thought you were smarter than that." The man with the scowl begun.1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ya1vYkiYL
1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GgHPYYLzb
Abby raised an eyebrow and leaned her whole weight on the broom, chewing gum loudly while watching the scene unfold. The guy in the middle was a bit taller than the others and held some kind of authority. Too bad his suit was dark red and he was a blond which, in Abby's mind, didn't work well.1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22qiCstbY3
Evan never anticipated suspense in his life and working in a store was not exactly life-threatening so when he opened the door and walked out of the back room, his eyes widened at the sight of the three men. He didn't have to be a genius to figure out they were dangerous so, with one hand closed the door as silently as possible and sneaked out really slowly, hiding behind the counter. ?It was closer to the door and he could easily sneak out if the chubby man from the right would move further into the store.1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2os8Qsdz8s
1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaUog8R95P
"Look, I said I was going to pay in time. The month isn't up yet." Dewy stated feverishly, placing his hands on his waist.1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyerjW5UYW
1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8owpiYYyBj
The leader of the pack clicked his tongue, not content with the response he got.1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXsGwdLoy4
1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGTn5hIfYi
"That's the thing, Dewy. I don't make the rules," He slapped his hands together and pointed upwards. "He does." He said before he glanced at Abby. She was a few feet from them. "Come here, kid."1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKU4aeHVENL
1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0d6b6xx2nr
She gulped but once he narrowed his eyes at her, she complied.1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhQDdnCfGe
1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NfhsbqXu7
"You see this guy here. Does he look trustworthy to you?" The blond in the unfitting red suit asked.1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvP5n6bJ1ca
1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzXGNOhPCM
Abby glanced at her boss from the corner of her eye before shaking her head.1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tkeRAsEPa
1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZP5EBdQsx
"Not really. He always cuts my salary." She bluntly admitted. 1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUI9O6xS34T
1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCYmRLLzIi
The three men laughed loudly before the tallest one made a gun with his hand and pointed it at the boss.1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdXxnXkHoP
1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWfHnUIbKn
"You little-"1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOV8TWHqWO3
1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVE7us8ldv2
The manager didn't have time to scold his employee because the blond shouted.1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQWilZU6vj
1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3JADGtzTT
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffhxZ0hmMs
1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjaAFoL1qh
The manager closed his eyes but nothing happened. Dewy opened one eye to peek at the dangerous men before a loud shooting sound echoed throughout the store. Evan, who was hiding behind the counter, flinched. He tried to keep silent by covering hsi mouth so no one would actually notice him.1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLchA0Ljwbi
1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqH1mheYBK
When the shot went through the manager's head, blood got spilled on Abby's cheek. Her eyes widened and her heart stopped for a minute. She turned to the three men and gulped, thinking that she will follow her former boss shortly.1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscmsmAKxtt
1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbVFNLTIuA
However, the tall blond let his eyes travel up and down her body before making a sign for the others to come closer.1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KrZG7Kz3w
1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYPcwrOnSi
"You're not half bad, kid. You'd bring good money if you'd get a proper training." He added, his eyes never leaving her frame.1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuDYdugJ6q
1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHrQPYwaew
It was sickening from every point of view, especially Evan's. He was too scared to move but he did; he creeped out, trying to see who died and if the chubby man moved. Luckily, he did and Evan suddenly got an idea.1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxcvrDYURF
1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgaseTCovJ
The same tall blond was ready to grab Abby when a shelf spontaneously fell aside.1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiAFU1vMea
1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmHLsQqGHb
"Go check if there's anyone else here." He ordered the others and they actually complied without a word.1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejs3VpdheC
1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRF6EI6qRo
Abby raised an eyebrow, already getting over the shock of seeing someone getting shot in front of her.1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1yh7xVIrs
1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4LTJ3ynOM
Evan couldn't stand there and do nothing, especially after someone already died. He hid behind the counter and stuck his head out to see her. He made a sign with his head towards the door before mouthing the word Run!. Luckily, she noticed and understood but she needed a diversion in order to run.1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLo1QUncua
1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgR0gcR0zQW
With no better idea, Abby smiled goofily and took a step closer to the blond. She spat the gum in his eye, surprising him and also Evan. However, that proved to be enough to make him fuss over, stumbling around, far from her.1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUMhjBOniN
1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuJnD4EziM
Evan grabbed her hand, seeing how she wasn't moving towards the door, and they ran out of the store. They could hear the gunshots and the angry screams behind and Abby glanced over her shoulder, the goofy smile still wide on her face.1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQDdxHMFtm
1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFI9TofU7uO
"Ugly and chubby are running after us!" she shouted as if Evan wasn't next to her, "We're too slow! They're going to catch up! Or even worse, call for backup!" She added.1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgYkKK4Mlq
1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhlhAjSSXj
Evan was panicking enough, she didn't have to add more fuel to the fire.1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BmK8sk4Hg
1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRey6bhSPLJ
"We have to steal a car!" Evan suddenly said and stopped.1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoJafAQiOg
1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHvtHNgjmc
Abby stopped behind him and stared at him like he was an idiot.1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9OJ4kh05S
1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrazqfNWKiv
"We have to! Do you want to get caught? They're going to kill me and make you a prostitute!" He started, visibly overreacting but at the same time, she realized they might do that after she spat gum in his eye.1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe29nRwKb41
1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYls4mwrcRO
They didn't have a choice and ran in the middle of the street, Evan jumping in front of what looked like an average car. The driver stomped on the break and rolled down the windo, giving perfect opportunity for evan to open the door and pull him out forcefully.1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrlZcL8MBd
1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZ8YCqXIxU
Abby hurried in the passenger seat, not taking a second glance at the colateral victim.1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEawCip1eHo
1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PcMw9Gx0F
"Go!Go!" She screamed once he got in.1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9fCKuDISv
1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBWALbU8Sc
The man screamed and almost hit Evan but the boy rolled up the window and stepped on the acceleration, getting them out of there as soon as possible. The common man started to run after them but they were moving too fast. His car was gone.1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TodzlIDiW
"Oh my God,"1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuWg4UTC6M
1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzHNoby7NA
She sighed in relief, feelinmg her heartbeats slowing down to a normal pulse. They could finally breathe and relax.1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJm6JdpGsu
1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1zdy2tUnK
"I think we lost them for now." He said calmly, checking on the review mirror.1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFeIlR5jkc
1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIYrSuSpcz
Indeed, no one was following them. Abby took a last look behind before she rolled up her window and turned to the driver. Her behavior suddenly changed: her eyes were shining and she looked excited instead of being scared.1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBI1uQCDfU
1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvc1BkFjJT
"Wasn't that amazing? We had our first meeting with mafia." She started, bitting her lower lip in excitement.1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZHCDjdaAm
1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJV9qPqT4WC
Evan frowned and threw her a weird look.1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZJflRyk0X
1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAC5n2vMWx
"Are you crazy? We witnessed our boss being killed. They won't let us go easily. If they see us, they kill us." He added, gripping the wheel at the thought.1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ504oLmJqrb
1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebMoWY2Hom
"I know. It feels like I'm dreaming. One minute he was there and next-" She slapped her hands together loudly. "Bam! He's dead and-" She remembered the blood on her cheek and wiped it off. "Isn't this just crazy?!"1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbi9bl6e3bk
1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpg4zH87BWj
Evan rolled his eyes and decided she was still feeling the adrenalineso she was thinking she was in an action movie not in a real life threatening situation.1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8SEHFf7Mu
1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD44nhswrT7
"You're crazy. Have you not understood what happened? They're going to kill us if they ever catch a glimpse of our faces!"1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPD9BJLkwUX
1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpu7PtsFYIV
Evan was a nice guy who worked three jobs to pay his scholarship. Being dragged into a misunderstanding with the mob and being in a car with an insane girl wasn't exactly the way he wanted to spend the night; or any night for that matter.1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrQRuPpXyx
1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8OvQWH1kH
Abby leaned back and looked ahead, her joyful expression cracking here and there.1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVU3eHmAfq
1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpwKx9wDux
"Calm down, we lost them. We're safe." She answered, feeling her hands tremble now that the adrenaline was fading away.1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oLOmTrXdP
1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVoeUiVpbu
"For now." Evan added curtly. He took a sudden turn and stopped the car before closing his eyes and sighing dramatically.1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNSUUqwEWF
1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrjdxikxny
Abby blinked curiously when he dropped his head on the steering wheel.1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchfqb2HxRL
1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMk1vvil1aO
"We're so doomed!" Evan whined.1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuFod9fdtK
1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7WTqMeFwI
Suddenly, her phone rang, surprising both of them. They glanced at each other suspiciously before she responded with Evan staring intensely at her.1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyeNL94VQ5
1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJ9RwobOxL
"He-Hello?" She breathed out, not recognizing the number.1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1Q6j2Vpqc
1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTIxqX2JiV
The voice on the other side was deep and manly. He breathed in the receiver, making her shiver.1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjFTQ6OR5J
1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuyXszYHnW
"Abigail Lincoln and Evan Graham," Her eyes widened at the husky voice, "Do you know the number one rule in my business?"He asked, sounding like he was smoking while talking to her because he was taking short breaks while speaking,"Never leave witnesses. Let's keep in touch."1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCral52lyCb
1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1JtC6qEWQ
That was all before he hung up.1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVc0BLIged
1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUU8SSEYiX
"Who was that?" Evan asked, breathing heavily since he had an idea already.1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHarRzMVpRM
1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCpdVYUz3k
Abby couldn't look him in the eye. Even though she was acting all brave a few minutes ago, the color in her cheeks and the glint in her eyes disappeared.1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV48iSFJEHp
1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEInxhRJV0
"We're doomed." She repeated, looking down at her hands.1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2CTj85wUM
1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡou9yzhNFFY
Evan groaned and dropped his head back on the steering wheel.1468Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tLXP1Tzm2
